I think "The Old Nurse's Story and Other Tales," is the best Gothic literature I have ever read. Gothic literature mostly combines horror and romance. The stories include elements of ghosts, love, tragedy, supernaturalism and madness. The endings and the themes are usually surprising and full of uncertainty. Also, the plots can be twisted with exciting climaxes. The Old Nurse's Tale has successfully been written which is filled with creative setting, writing style and how it scare readers that could freeze the surrounding air and make readers afraid to sleep alone at night. The story begins from a nurse and a lovely little girl who loses her parents and is about to be sent to Miss Furnivall's house. Furnivall Manor House is huge and stunning but there are strange things happening in that beautiful mansion. There are some odd rules and places and topics that are forbidden to talk about. On the way to the house, the views outside of the carriage change from modern to the past that is colliers and miners. The story happens in Industrial Revolution in 19th century that is modern age. It enhances the background and the weirdness of the house with a sense of mystery. To the nurse, it seems there is a big secret that cannot be revealed and things are getting dreadful while she digs deeper and deeper into the truth. The author, Elizabeth Gaskell, was really good at giving readers visual imaginations through her writing. She spent a lot of time describing the scenes in the story that made words leap from the books and they were extremely vivid and lively. For example, she described the fanciness of the Furnivall Manor House and how glorious and huge with plenty rooms and beautiful decorations.

Those depictions are written for a reason and this is how this fiction could be so h
